I collect scorpions evidently.
They are not too bad dipped in chocolate!
Come to think of it, fried on a nice salad (maybe tomorrow night).

I'm not sure what the deal is (rock house:redface:), but I am pretty popular with this species (insert clapping hands smiley here)!:twisted:

Last year, in bed asleep, had one crawl on me, slapped at it and got STUNG!
No big deal actually.

Lastnight, same thing, minus the sting (I am getting quicker)!:eek:

This particular one had a Siberian Rehabilitation (Freezer).

Anyone else having these problems?

    Nope, no scorpions here, at least that I am aware of. You need some cats. I bet they would take care of that problem.

    That one happens to be a pretty big one (I should have had it mounted), wish I had put a quarter in the pic for comparison.
    If you look closely, it has a couple of tatoos, one from the Navy I think, and originally had a bandana on.

    Pretty sure it owed people money when it died.

    Poor Cats!:lol:

    I bet Steve has seen a few this year.

    Not here but plenty in Tuscany. My daughter had one from Arizona in a lollipop. Said it tasted like burnt popcorn. She ate it all.

    Good point Tony. It's the same "country logic" they use for keeping sheep in the bedroom.

    I thought about keeping some chickens in the bathroom, but I would have to take the transmission out of the bathtub first.

    Last year we saw a few in the glue traps in the house so started hunting them in our yard. We were killing about 15-20 a week. I have always had pest control at our house here in the phoenix suburbs. But this year after talking with a few clients about there pest company they were using I switched to Scorpion tech. since the switch I have seen 2 that were alive (only for a second until the mighty rubber mallet had its way) on our back fence. This was 5 days after first spray 3 months ago. I saw 1 dead one in our garage the other day. I have went on a few night hunts looking and all is quiet.

    I hate those things, they freak me out.

    Now, I know the reason some of us choose to live in the great northeast -- the winter kills scorpions, termites and a lot of other pests that thrive where the weather stays nice and warm year round! I knew there was some advantage to getting 50" of snow per year (or thereabouts).

    I bet those scorpions are high in protein.

    PS: I heard from some guy called "cheezy" that scorpions imbedded in black crystals from the Andromeda Galaxy are the best high-end fuses you can put anywhere in your rig!
